Description

“I wish you could see the wonderful color photos of me (looking really gay) they printed”

Author whose candid treatment of sex in such novels as Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn clashed with traditional mores and censorship standards. ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, February 9, 1967. Letter to friend Jim Bishop. In part: “That was indeed a great surprise to receive the photos…I only regret that I looked so glum or sombre! The other day I received a magazine from Japan called ‘The Town’ in which there was an interview with me by Tonoyama, the actor. I wish you could see the wonderful color photos of me (looking really gay) they printed. I wish I could find out the process they use. Like it so much better than ours.” In fine condition, with intersecting mailing folds, and some light edge toning. RRAuction COA.
